How does an ultralight hiker keep his hands and feet warm, especially when he is walking right through a Scottish winter?
For his latest feature, Colin Ibbotson, is contemplating his fingers and toes!
Colin promises more soon:
The skins project has ballooned but will be finished in the next few weeks. My TGO pack will weigh in at 80g! Waterproof trousers are well tested and ready for the final build. Just started testing a Paramo style jacket that should be under 400g which I hope to have that finished for the Challenge. Next years projects will be the completion of the waterproofs and I’ve just designed a new type of sleeping bag/quilt specifically for side/front sleepers so another busy year!
Can’t wait!
The lad’s gone too far this time – 80g!
Surely shum mistake?
It does include a kitchen sink though!
Very interesting info as I get very cold hands as well. Colin mentioned Smartwool being difficult to find at now Field and Trek have got them on sale at the moment.
